H.R. 2582, Confirming State Land Grants for Education Act (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (2 pages)
Congress 115th
Date Requested July 26, 2017
Requested By House Committee on Natural Resources
Date Sent Sept. 11, 2017
Description:

H.R. 2582 would allow the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to process the selection of 520 acres of federal land in Utah under the Utah Enabling Act of 1894. That act authorized the state of Utah to select certain federal lands to be held in trust by the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA), an independent state agency, for the benefit of the state. The state used that authority to select 520 acres of land that BLM identified for disposal. However, because BLM’s land use plan for the area containing the selected lands does not allow land to be disposed of through the land selection process, the agency cannot transfer those lands to the state without revising its existing plan. Based on information from BLM, CBO does not expect the agency to make the necessary revisions to that plan within the next 10 years.
